One of the coolest things in Flex is the ability to create Drag and Drop operations very easily. For List base controls like the List and DataGrid / AdvancedDataGrid, it works out of the box, just set the dragEnabled property of the source and the dropEnabled property of the other and it’s already working. Dragging and Dropping to a Tree however, does not work by simply setting the dropEnabled property. The following example shows you how you can drag items from a DataGrid / AdvancedDataGrid to a Tree.

One powerful thing in Flex/Flash is the use of states. States can be used to control the behavior of your application based on the state that it’s in at the moment. Let’s say we want to have an display and edit mode in our application and we want to show something different in those modes / states. Let’s create a simple example that shows you how you can use states to achieve this.

If you are building a flex Twitter app there are some things you just cannot create this app without.

Especially this function. It’s a twitter search function build with Flex Builder.

Let’s say you want to let your application users search for twitter friends. Well with this function that is possible.
